This means that if you change your mind and want to see your code again, then the VCS will be able to give it back. A VCS also enables you to generate ''patches'', which are files that contain only the differences between two versions of a same file.
But the main point in using a VCS is that it enables two (or more) persons to work on the same codebase at once without interfering with each other. A VCS also allows you to place your source code on the Internet and have your whole team co-operate using a single server. Many source code hosting websites (such as Google Code
